4 For everyone belongs to me, the parent as well as the child—both alike belong to me. The one who sinsl is the one who will die.m

5 “Suppose there is a righteous man

who does what is just and right.

6 He does not eat at the mountainn shrines

or look to the idolso of Israel.

He does not defile his neighbor’s wife

or have sexual relations with a woman during her period.p

7 He does not oppressq anyone,

but returns what he took in pledger for a loan.

He does not commit robberys

but gives his food to the hungryt

and provides clothing for the naked.u

8 He does not lend to them at interest

or take a profit from them.v

He withholds his hand from doing wrong

and judges fairlyw between two parties.

9 He follows my decreesx

and faithfully keeps my laws.

That man is righteous;y

he will surely live,z

declares the Sovereign Lord.
